Data & Impact

EarlyREACH Reports, Stats and Data

Early REACH is supported by two external evaluators to assess its impact. The Brazelton Touchpoints Center is examining center-level quality, such as teacher retention and recruitment, while the University of Houston is evaluating the program’s economic impact on participating centers and families. Both evaluations will provide valuable insights on program effectiveness, sustainability, and areas for improvement.
